WeaslThrum

WeaslThrum


Usual fun stuff. Toy piano. Kalimba flutter. Some 60 Hz hum sampled into a Yamaha VSS-30. Slide whistle and loon call. Lantern battery terminal springs sproinging, voices and such.

Kitchen Improv

Kitchen Improv


This starts out quietly then gets good and loud.

Just something cooked up one day with assorted kitchen items as percussion: a kitchen sink, an oven rack, a kettle partially filled with water, various lids and a porcelain bowl submerged in water by varying degrees (to create pitchbendy goodness), water sloshing in the sink and so on.

All the sorts of cool sounds one hears when washing dishes, but one is, well, too busy washing dishes to do much about other than listen.

Recorded with the Zoom H4 and mixed on Cubase LE.
